It is the only quad Interstate route in existence. I-70 will reroute in

Remember that the goal here is community preparedness, not disaster response.
What happened in Haiti was a great use of OSM, but that was response, not
preparedness. If you are going to do community based mapping, the most valuable
thing to map is critical facilities and vulnerable populations.

that's why a database without address points is not that much more valuable
